Stepping up from out of frame, Salem carried Kyra in his arms, both smiling as "Showtime" walked fresh from his match to stand alongside Reich and Cole.
"Heh, my friend here takes his honor very seriously, Cole. As I know the Damones do." he added, turning to face the camera with his child in his arms.
"See, I hold something worth more than it's weight in gold, here in my arms, a treasure that I'm sure me and The Syndicate would agree could be equal no price, and that's family....and I know your family well, Marcus and Blaze. I've bled with and against them, and though we've had our moments, I know the two of you would rather win on your own strength than reach for your laurels from behind a man who isn't even a wrestler."
Setting Kyra down to stand between he and Erynys, Salem focused his attention on Cole a moment.
"We've fought through the challenge issued by The Syndicate, and purchased another chance at the tag titles with the achieving of it, Cole - and now, the stipulation for this fated rematch is ours to decide. Blaze and Marcus, you might've beaten us, but despite the underhanded method you went about it, we're still tied evenly with four wins apiece for our teams. This will not only settle who the true champions are, but it will make that verdict decisive. Yet, dare history repeat itself? Will you reveal yourselves as boys, or face us as men this time? Just what kind of match would be appropriate for the measure of which of our brotherly bonds is stronger? I can think of nothing better, no greater challenge than to see who really deserves to stand at this mountaintop we both scale towards the summit of. A match where nerve and steel matter more than tag ropes and shady managers, one where the better men are those who aren't afraid to scale to the heavens alone and see the golden sun of glory plucked from the very sky. That's why we've chosen for a ladder match to be our retribution, Marcus and Blaze. We'll see those tag belts hang from above, and in the reaching of them measure a man's worth. We've all come far to get to this peak - what's twelve more feet?" he said, smirking with a nod back to the camera.
